the speeding cars on the Ave don't they know it's Holy Week
Then let the sharp Oceanview March wind tread our ears
I to you turn with tiny dumbo weather-tears starting
later the weird thought memory you in submarine tango bar
Old Edgethrow roaming the questionable waterfrontwho to wedlock this wonder wedlock brought not enough
enough to stand up to the numerousness of years expecting
each be other’s comfort kind but then life happens
always the same almost forever feeling sometimes merciful
sometimes binding close sometimes falling apart

My tribute what I experienced in one week in Idomeni: image via Andrej Isakovic @iandrej. 24 March 2016
When you lookup on Wikipedia you get the following description: Idomeni is a small village in Greece, near the borders with the Republic of Macedonia. The village is located in the municipality of Paeonia, Kilkis regional unit of Central Macedonia. But in the history books it will be remembered by human suffering. For the past three years, and especially since September 2014, this global drama called migration has unfolded in Idomeni, on the border between Greece and Macedonia. The victims are refugees from Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Morocco, Somalia… Their odyssey was halted in this forgotten place in Europe. I’ve spent only one week photographing all those people at a makeshift camp, but I will remember this for my whole life. -- Andrej Isakovic

Thanks Tom, "sometimes binding close sometimes falling apart" just about says it all . . .
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. Alas, yes, it seems that's all too true, as long as we remain these backward, fallible carbon units. Someday maybe things will be completely be different, when humans have finally been turned into apps and the silicon replacement is complete?
ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteThought you and readers might enjoy another take on a Cuban visit by one of your early benefactors:
